Elder Adult Abuse and Neglect
California’s elderly population is ever-growing, and as such, so is the risk that this vulnerable population may be the victims of abuse and neglect. In response, the California legislature has expressly stated that it “recognizes that elders and dependent adults may be subjected to abuse, neglect, or abandonment and that this state has a responsibility to protect these persons.” California Welfare & Institutions Code §15600(a).
Dependent Adult Abuse
A dependent adult is someone who is not yet an elder (over the age of 65) and requires assistance with normal activities and/or protecting their rights. At Valentine Law Group, we have a special passion for advocating on behalf of victims of dependent adult abuse because the most vulnerable members of our society need strong voices to fight for justice on their behalf.
Medical Malpractice
In California, victims can bring a medical malpractice case against a medical care provider, including a physician, nurse, physical therapist, or mental health care professional. Under state law, a person must establish that a health care professional-patient relationship existed, the professional violated the owed duty of care, your injury was caused by the professional’s acts or omissions, and that you suffered damages as a result of those acts or omissions.
